<h2>Bortuzzo's Bronze</h2>
<p>Bortuzzo's bronze in the 100m breaststroke SB4 came after the swimmer recorded the fourth-fastest time in the heats, but then he pushed hard in the first lane and managed to secure third place. “It’s an indescribable emotion, I hoped for it, I have never won anything, I didn't expect it. I don’t know what to say, it’s beautiful," he excitedly shared after winning the medal. "In the last lap, I thought about all the hard work I had done to get here, it’s wonderful. For me, it’s like gold. It’s already a lot to be here, and then to have a medal… I owe it mainly to my coach, there have been many times I thought about giving up," he added.</p>

<h2>The Story of Manuel Bortuzzo</h2>
<p>On February 3, 2019, due to a case of mistaken identity outside a pub in the southern outskirts of Rome, Bortuzzo became the victim of a shooting. A bullet, which stopped at the level of a vertebra, caused a spinal cord injury that compromised the mobility of his legs. At that time, the athlete, a promise of Italian youth swimming, was on the rise for the Tokyo Olympics: born in Trieste on May 3, 1999, he moved to Rome to train with champions like Gregorio Paltrinieri and Gabriele Detti and had been included in the "Road to Tokyo 2020" project. In 2015, he also set the new Italian record in the boys' category in the 3,000 meters, taking it from Paltrinieri. After the shooting, it seemed that Bortuzzo's sports career was permanently over. But he did not give up, and by February 18, 2019, he began rehabilitation, while in July he was back in the pool.</p>

<h2>The Paralympics</h2>
<p>After a difficult period, Bortuzzo - who in the meantime also participated in Big Brother Vip - returned to competitions. And he cultivated the dream of taking part in the Paris Paralympics: a dream not only fulfilled but crowned with a bronze medal. Before the start of the Games, he said they represented for him "the closure of a circle. It’s a wonderful feeling. Being here gives me that peace of mind to say I have arrived, now there is nothing to lose.”</p>
